        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
      The <span class="emphasis"><em>csb64enc</em></span> utility generates a Base64 encoded text file from a binary file, such as a standard MIDI file (.mid) or any type of audio file. It is useful to convert a file in the format accepted by the <a class="link" href="CommandUnifile.html" title="Unified File Format for Orchestras and Scores"><em class="citetitle">&lt;CsFileB&gt;</em></a> section of a csd file, to include the file within it.

        <pre class="programlisting">
    <span class="emphasis"><em>csb64enc</em></span> -w 78 -o file.txt file.mid</pre>
        <p>

      This command produces a Base64 encoded text file from the standard MIDI file <span class="emphasis"><em>file.mid</em></span>. This file can now be pasted within a csd file's <a class="link" href="CommandUnifile.html" title="Unified File Format for Orchestras and Scores"><em class="citetitle">&lt;CsFileB&gt;</em></a> section.
